Step-by-step explanation:


f(x)=(3x)/(x-1)

To find the domain we have to take a look at every part of the function that contains 'x'. In this function there are two places where x is:


3x\rightarrow\text{ there's no restriction about the values 'x' can take in this part}
\begin{gathered} (x-1)\rightarrow\text{ since this is in the denominator of the function, it cannot be zero} \\ \text{therefore} \\ x-1\\e0\Rightarrow x\\e1 \end{gathered}

Answer:

The domain of the function is all real numbers except 1:


D\colon x\in(-\infty,1)\cup(1,\infty)

Around x = 1, the function goes to infinty. To the left of x = 1 it's negative infinity and to the right it's positive infinity
